Hey all! I picked up the newly released soundtrack for The Fellowship of the Ring, and I must say, it is *fantastic.* It has a good mix of classical orchestral styled pieces, many of which are rather Wagnerian, and some Celtic pieces. In addition, (...) (23 years ago, 22-Nov-01, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.off-topic.fun)

South Park killed Enya for me. :) Being old is like being trapped in a dark room with Enya on the radio. It's cheesy and lame, yet earily soothing, all at the same time. "Jeff Stembel" <jeff.stembel@noaa.gov> wrote in message (...) (23 years ago, 23-Nov-01, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.off-topic.fun)

Ok - simple question for everyone: What is the best set out right now for castle fans? Bulk ordering excluded ... Now by best set, I have in mind a set that you get the most amount of useful parts for the best price. A ratio :) A while back, I would (...) (23 years ago, 26-Nov-01, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Hagrid's Hut at Kmart this weekend at 20% off. I would say for $24, it had a nice variety of pieces. Again, taking cost into factor, it doesn't beat out the MTT. The plates are not very useful and the roof is *rap. The fact that you have to (...) (23 years ago, 26-Nov-01, to lugnet.castle)

(...) the Guarded Inn is probably the best for your buck these days in terms of pieces for new castles. If you consider postage etc, you could get about three of these for the same money you would spend on just one King Leo's Castle. That's 15 grey (...) (23 years ago, 26-Nov-01, to lugnet.castle)

A few to add: Slave I - TONS of green slopes, brown, etc., and coupled with the Landspeeder (also a good one) for $15, this is a great set. Also, I gotta give a nod to the Young Dinosaur series (7000-7003). These have a good bunch of grey and dk. (...) (23 years ago, 26-Nov-01, to lugnet.castle)

Hey, everybody. my View on the best set for castle out is the Hogwarts castle, hagrid's hut, and the no, brainer, guarded inn. Here is why: Hogwarts: It is a huge castle, you get great minifigs like Hagrid and Dumbledore, the body armor... Plus all (...) (23 years ago, 26-Nov-01, to lugnet.castle)

I'd add 6094 Guarded Treasury - it has cool window, dungeon door, gray and blue slopes, the lion head sculptures, and a tower piece. Castaway Pirate "Pawel Nazarewicz" <verneer@utk.edu> wrote in message news:GnE9vH.7zy@lugnet.com... (...) (23 years ago, 27-Nov-01, to lugnet.castle)

These are my choices for best castle theme sets out now: (Guarded Inn - does not really count, It would be very hard to out do most LegoLand Castle sets before the 1990's) Best small set: - Knight's catapult 4816 - it has decent peices and two nice (...) (23 years ago, 27-Nov-01, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Hey Anthony, great job on another story. I really liked how you mentioned Volldai in the story. Is this hinting at maybe having your two storylines cross paths somewhere along the way? Very cool idea! Wilson (23 years ago, 28-Nov-01, to lugnet.castle)

(...) well done, IMHO. By giving us the beginning of the story again, from another perspective, you manage a recap without it looking like a recap. Well told, and well timed, with the story moving farther away from Ikros. thanks, James (23 years ago, 28-Nov-01, to lugnet.castle)
